1. AWAY THEY GO(C) (DD-Kluger/DD-Yawkey Way) Life 6 1 2 2 633800 Chrisman
Horse Rating 104.00 Speed Rating 109.20 M/L 4-1
He has a tremendous amount of late speed and I anticipate he might be closer to the leaders tonight coming from gate #1. He has only had 1 really bad effort in his career and he must figure prominently this evening. Should easily move on to the semi finals, but not sure he will win, a major player tonight for sure.
2. THE CON MAN(C) (DD-Whirlaway/DD-Con Te Partiro) Life 11 1 5 0 142280 Star Of The Desert
Horse Rating 106.50 Speed Rating 109.40 M/L 5-1
He has collected a paycheck in each of his last 5 starts and an inside post tonight should ehlp his chances to move into the semi finals. I anticipate we might see more speed from him tonight and if he could grab a decent lead he might be hard to catch, even with some tremendous closers in the race, a player for certain.
3. DEMON H(G) (DD-Without Parole/DD-Demure) Life 8 4 0 2 105620 Pancho Racing Stables
Horse Rating 107.25 Speed Rating 108.86 M/L 2-1
The morning line favorite and for good reason. He is undefeated so far in this series and may very well win this heat tonight. This is the strongest field he has face so far and should be a good challenge for him. If he grabs the lead will he be able to fend off the late chargers, only time will tell but I feel he is the horse to beat.
4. MY COLD DEAD HANDS(C) (DD-Liam's Map/DD-Marla) Life 5 1 1 0 28960 Foggydan Farms
Horse Rating 105.50 Speed Rating 107.00 M/L 6-1
Not sure what this horse wants to do, he has shown speed but has also shown the ability to close in the stretch. He is in tough tonight as there appear to be faster horse out of the gate and he does not appear to be able to out close the closers in the race so for that reason I must pass.
5. FAR ABOVE(C) (DD-Great Above/DD-Melody Lady) Life 6 3 0 2 65780 Tri-City Stables
Horse Rating 100.50 Speed Rating 109.00 M/L 3-1
Stalking type who disappointed a bit in his last as the morning line favorite. He has speed and should be forwardly placed early but he is in against some stiff competition tonight and I don't think he is strong enough to win the race, a minor award is not out of the question however.
6. . PURELY MAGIC(F) (DD-Liam's Map/DD-Magical) Life 7 2 0 1 56270 Bobby Dazzler
Horse Rating 102.75 Speed Rating 107.17 M/L 5-1
Another speedy type who should vie for the early lead tonight. I don't see her getting a big enough lead to win this race and even though it appears her last race the jockey tactics were changed she is not strong enough in the stretch to fend off the late speed so I must pass.
My selections: 3-1-2-5
